HS2 Ltd has opened applications for tech start-ups and SMEs to join the fifth group of its Innovation Accelerator programme.
The programme is seeking five candidates who will use artificial intelligence to help deliver smooth design changes across the construction phase of the HS2 railway line.
“Cascading design revisions through a live building programme, such as innovations to reduce embedded carbon or alter any detail of its systems, stations or depots is challenging, especially one on HS2’s scale.
“To help smooth the process, we’re looking for innovative tech start-ups with applications to both design and game plan implementation scenarios that will help strengthen understanding of how the best results can be achieved.”
The HS2 Innovation Accelerator programme first launched in June 2020.
Applications to join the fifth cohort will close on 30 October.
